Bye bye big intangible, we hardly knew thee

BENEDICK
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living?
BEATRICE
Is it possible disdain should die while she hath
such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come
in her presence.

This just isn't right. Why still the hostility and sarcasm especially 
when that poster was essentially correct about Wallace and while
our team is doing so well.  

As a long time lurker who probably hasn't earned the right to 
a voice, I’d still like to say that I used to enjoy this list before 
it got so lame with its name-calling and defensive and 
confrontational and yes boring posts. 

Seems to me all this list is good for now is for posts that 
keep repeating that our team is fabulous and that our 
every player and coach is off the chart. Have been reading the 
same rosy posts now for what seems like forever even when we 
won so few games last season..

But a funny thing seems to have happened on our way to success.
Nowhere does there anymore seem room for contributions which 
are not starry eyed optomistic.  And God help those who
post otherwise.  I for one really miss all the give and take by 
intelligent posters with varying views who once made this list 
what it was. 

As an example because I missed her contributions, I emailed the 
late Egg a few days ago to see where she was at.  She responded 
that she has actually removed her name from this list.  What a 
shame as I recall the very guys who drove her off aren’t nearly 
her equal in interesting input.  I'm not familiar with who the 
mystery man is who owns this list but she also told me that 
she requested that he speak to posters about personal attacks 
but never heard back from him.  

Just my humble opinion but with all the Celtics blogs and 
forums out there nowadays it seems to me that the competitiion 
for intelligent thought-provoking contributors is keen and that 
none of the dozens of Celtics sites can afford to drive away 
quality contributors.
